Meditation by Sr. Paulette Maes, SHM - Holy Week 2019
The announcement of the betrayal of Jesus takes place at the very moment of the announcement of the Sacrament of Love. We see in the Eucharist the contradiction of the greatest Love and the greatest contempt. How many times in the Eucharist is the Lord treated with contempt, with insults. The Eucharist is the Sacrifice of the great love of Jesus on the Cross, but it is also the victim of the lack of love of so many souls.

The Poor Widow in the Gospel today wanted to give everything to God. The Lord recognized the importance of that contribution. Charity is the principal virtue of Christians. The greatest manifestation of the Love of God is the charity of Christ agonizing on the Cross for us. If we were to summarize the readings of today, we could do so in three words: Charity, Sacrifice and Reward.

Meditation by Fr. Dominic Feehan, SHM - Silent Retreat 2018
Our Lord voluntarily suffered for love of us. He was thinking of each and every one of us, and he was willing to suffer all those torments for each of us, and he would be willing to undergo all that suffering again to save us.

Meditation by Fr. Dominic Feehan, SHM - Silent Retreat 2018
How does God look on humanity? God's gaze on sinners is one of infinite compassion and mercy. When God looks on humanity, He is profoundly moved by the evil and sin that causes so much suffering. He has a tremendous desire to heal, nourish, restore and protect humanity from the evil one.

Meditation by Fr. Henry Kowalczyk, SHM - Silent Retreat 2018
We must ask the grace to have sorrow for our sins and also ask for the light to see ourselves the way God sees us. "You, O Lord, turned me toward myself, taking me from behind myself, where I had put myself while unwilling to examine myself. And now you have set me face to face with myself, that I might see how ugly I was, how decomposed and sordid, stained and ulcerous. And I looked and I loathed myself; but could not find a place in which to flee from myself. And if I sought to turn my gaze away from myself, you would again face me to myself, and thrust me before my own eyes that I might discover my iniquity and hate it. I had known it, but acted as though I knew it not -- overlooked it and forgot it." (Confessions of St. Augustine, Book XIII, Chapter 7)

Meditation by Fr. Henry Kowalczyk, SHM - Silent Retreat 2018
Jesus wants to tell you how much love He has for you. Words cannot begin to express how much love God has for each one of us. He has thought of you from all eternity. Say to Him: Lord, give me the grace to thirst for your love.
